Make Warcraft, Not Love

February 25, 2008 | 1 Comment

The on-again, off-again obsession with World of Warcraft which occasionally grips our house (and especially one half of our house) has struck again, and for reasons he explains himself, The Mrs has started a Warcraft blog.
Stop by and make him feel loved, won’t you?

A Place I’ve Dreamed Of

February 25, 2008 | Comments Off

It’s been The Mrs’ last weekend in SF, so apologies if I’ve been a bit too otherwise-occupied to blog.  But one of the things I started to plan almost from the minute we agreed that he was going to come over is a trip to Sausalito on his last weekend.  There are a couple of […]

Normal Service

No, not a reference to regular blogging (though I really do keep trying - but I’ve just been back to the UK for all of 48 hours, FFS!), but to dinner last Saturday night in our hotel in Monterey.  Yes, we took a car and drove down the Pacific coast on Highway 1 - stunning […]

You Hum It…

February 17, 2008 | Comments Off

I’ve been coming to San Francisco on and off since 1993, and in all that time I didn’t even know there were hummingbirds in Northern California, let alone seen any.  Then Bam!  The Mrs arrives and suddenly they’re everywhere.  There’s even one that frequents my downstairs neighbour’s terrace.
Now it’s the case that I’ve never actually […]

As The Mrs and I don’t ‘do’ Valentine’s, we just went to the cinema last night. Doug Liman’s new film Jumper is about an American teen who discovers that he can teleport, the lifestyle he uses the ability to create for himself, and how it all goes wrong when he comes to the attention […]

New Airline

February 15, 2008 | Comments Off

You’ll have gathered that I fly a lot.  But I tend to fly a lot to the same places, and generally use the same airlines.  It’s not often I get on a plane belonging to a company I’ve never flown with before.  But it happened last weekend, when we flew to Seattle with Alaska Airlines […]

So, Seattle

February 14, 2008 | 1 Comment

Great weekend (not great weather); had a wander round Pike Place Market and once again wondered why there’s nothing that feels even remotely comparable anywhere in the UK; stayed a couple of nights in a nice hotel, though were somewhat upset that their motif goldfish kept turning up dead in various bowls around the place; […]

Big Catch-Up

HONK!

February 8, 2008 | 1 Comment

Woken very early this morning by a chorus of foghorns from all directions and the sight of thick fog crawling across the city below us and below and actually quite clear dawn.  As The Mrs said “the sky is upside down”.  And now a couple of hours later there’s *nothing* to see out of the […]

What A Super Tuesday

February 6, 2008 | 1 Comment

Well, as would be expected, I sat glued to the TV for large parts of yesterday evening as the results and analysis came in from the various primaries and caususes (caucusi?) around the US.  And like many people I suspect, I was disappointed that no juggernaut-like candidates emerged from the rubble.  McCain is clearly out […]
